Pastor arrested for impregnating minor

Police in Ndunyu Njeru, Kinangop Nyandarua County are holding a pastor from one of the leading churches for impregnating a Form One student.

The pastor was arrested after the 15-year-old girl who joined secondary school a month ago confessed that she was pregnant and could not continue with her classes.

Drama unfolded outside the police station as the parents of the minor went after the cleric in his 30s for abusing the trust given to him.

The officers and relatives were left in shock after the suspect confessed to having an affair with the girl for the last one year.

According to area Chief Peter Kanyara, the management of the school where the student was admitted were the first to realize that the girl was pregnant.

He said they revealed the information to the parents and the pastor was tricked to come to the school.

“The pastor came to the school and when confronted he confessed to having an affair with the minor and was taken to the police station,” he said.

A senior police officer at the station confirmed the arrest saying that the pastor would be charged in court.
